Description

The portrait is finely painted in watercolour on card, almost monotone in colour with just the gentleness of hints of pink in his lips, cheeks and ears, it sits within a black ebonised frame with acorn hanger. John Todd is quite a fashionable Chap sporting the Brutish haircut with his curls pushed forward and indeed upwards, made so popular by Beau Brummell after Wigs became unpopular with the introduction of the powder tax. On the back of the portrait is this wonderful verso
I John Todd, son,
of John Todd of
Bourne, Lincolnshire
do dedicate this portrait
of myself to my dear
Son Joseph on
May 14th 1822
*28 years of Age when Painted* (Added some years after the above)
CONDITION - The miniature is in good condition, although the card has almost certainly darkened with age. And there is which I am sure you can see from the photographs a brown mark over the top of John Todd's head. There is a very slight crease to the paper at the top edge where you can just see the glass peering through, which I think is likely to be the orignal glass as the edge I can see is not perfectly rounded (best seen in the eighth photo). There is no backing to the back of the frame, which in some ways is lovely as you can see the verso, and the portrait does appear to sit securely in the frame. There is a nail missing from the brass hanger at the back and some movement to the hanger.
